I have come full circle and I have bought a Canon 5D Classic. Some of you may remember from older videos I do mention I had …

I bought a 5D Mk1 about a year ago and love the camera. There is something special about the way it renders–colors are pleasing and don't have the harshness or cartoony look I get from other cameras. I find it tends to overexpose by default so have to compensate if a shot includes any sky or highlights. I don't use auto-iso so don't miss it.
Also the EOS mount is larger and has a shorter flange distance than other DSLRs so you can mount other brand lenses. I have it paired with a Nikon 50mm f1.4
I have to be honest and say I have never ever shot with anything Cannon. I am mostly a Nikon shooter but also enjoy Pentax and Fuji and previously owned and used Olympus m4/3. I do enjoy my D700 as well as my Z8.
Great video, yesterday I've did a couple photoshoot with canon 5D classic and the 135mm F2L along the Nikon DF with the sigma 24-105mm and 50mm F1.8
Despite the 12mp of the 5D, the image all came sharp and pleasing, as long as you are using the center point autofocus it's very reliable. The 5D and 135mm F2 helped me to get the compression i wanted for the Tour Eiffel shoot.
The Nikon DF did also an amazing job, I started the shoot with the 50mm F1.8 and even at F2.8, I had too much blurry background (it was in Paris and I wanted to show also the location )
. So I've mounted the 24-105mm F4 and it was the perfect lens for this type of shoot, more than enough bokeh, very flexible framing and super sharp.
